A forbidden, age-gap romance.
Halley is living a lie...and falling for someone she never should have met.
By day, she's just a girl trying to survive an emotionally barren home. But by night, she escapes to the quiet solitude of a lake beneath the stars. That's where she meets Reed, a brooding, kind stranger who offers her the sort of safety she's never known.
There's an unspoken connection. A shared ache neither of them can name.
But when Halley's best friend introduces her new stepdad, everything shatters.
Because that stepdad is Reed.
With a love as equally forbidden as it is all-consuming, Halley and Reed are forced to navigate a storm of secrets, guilt, and longing. As years go by and lines blur, they must decide if love is worth the risk-especially when it could destroy the only family either of them has ever known.
A haunting and hopeful story of healing, desire, and a love that refuses to be ignored.
